Wine Enthusiast 94 points - Amber in the glass, this Scotch has a rich butterscotch aroma, with touches of fresh apple and tropical fruit. Look for dried fruit and Sherry upfront on the palate, with additional notes of vanilla and oak that hang on through the exceedingly long and rounded finish. Though it’s mouthcoating and oily, it’s also roughed up a bit by the high proof, giving it a drying edge on the close..Kara Newman, December/2015

As with most Aberlour whisky, this 12 Year Old single malt has been matured in two types of cask. This double casking adds depth of character as well as balanced notes of fruits and spices. Colour Golden amber with hints of ruby red Nose Very soft and rounded with fruity notes of red apples Palate Sherried character and fruity aromas balanced with a rich chocolate, toffee, cinnamon and ginger spiciness Finish Warming and lingering. Sweet and very slightly spicy

Highland Single Malt Scotch Gold Medal - 2015 International Wine & Spirits Challenge "Naturally light in colour. Concentrated fruit and honey on the nose with great big rich wave of malt. Honey and lemon are to the fore with rich floral backing. Mouth fills with intense malt with unhurried flow across the palate. Silky smooth and beautiful balance. Impressive long finish."

"Full of character but in gentle mode. Citrus leads the nose with delicate peat and peppermint notes along with coffee, dark chocolate and vanilla. Rich and full in the mouth with flavours following the nose more citrus giving a very refreshing character. Hints of peat and smoke mingle with citrus in long finish." -Tasting Notes

"Powerful, muscular, well-textured, and invigorating. Even within the realm of Ardbeg, this one stands out. The more aggressive notes of coal tar, damp kiln, anise and smoked seaweed are supported by an array of fruit (black raspberry, black cherry, plum), dark chocolate, espresso, molasses, bacon fat, kalamata olive, and warming cinnamon on the finish. Quite stunning!"

Ardbeg Kelpie is named for the legends of the sea around Ardbeg. Its powerful aromas of oily peat, salty seaweed and tarry rope have been produced by virgin oak casks from the Black Sea, intermingled with the hallmark Ardbeg flavour profile. Waves of spicy black pepper give way to a delectable tide of bacon and dark chocolate. Incredibly deep. Non chill-filtered at 46% ABV

Distillery Notes This unique Auchentoshan Lowland Single Malt Whisky has been matured in three different cask types. Moving from American Bourbon to Spanish Oloroso Sherry - and finally Pedro Ximenez Sherry casks - Three Wood is a rich, complex whisky with incredible toffee and sherry oak flavours.

Highland Single Malt Scotch "Balblair 2002 is sparkling gold in color. The American oak, ex-bourbon barrels used in maturation impart toffee and vanilla notes. On the palate it is full bodied, yet sweet and spicy in character, with hints of oranges, lemons, green apples, toffee and vanilla. A long, fresh finish." -The Distillery
